Bob's Burgers is full of funny puns, dad jokes, and plain good PG-13 humor. If you were to pay attention to each episode, there are hidden details and jokes floating around that are only seen for a short period of time.
One of these hidden details is the comical names of the business next door to Bob's Burgers. Besides Mort's Mortuary and Bob's restaurant, the space next door always has a new tenant. The show's writing team likes to have some fun and come up with some hilarious puns as business names. After ten seasons, these are the top ten laugh-out-loud business names.
Maxi Pads, Large Apartment Rentals
The writing team likes their mature-themed puns when it comes to naming these businesses. They also happen to be the funniest and most creative ones. In the intro of episode four in season six, there's a new business in town and it's called "Maxi Pads" Large Apartment Rentals.
A lot of "For Rent" signs or real estate agents advertise condos or lofts. Some people like to refer to their apartments as "pads". The term "bachelor pad" is a common one. Who would have guessed the sanitary pad size would make for a good business name to advertise large apartment rentals.
Extra Moist Yoga
"Hot Yoga" is a popular trend. You do yoga in a high-temperature room to get the body sweating. In season one, episode six, instead of "hot yoga" it's "extra moist yoga." Extra emphasis on the word "moist".
What makes this pun especially comical is the word "moist". For some reason the word itself makes you cringe and forces a shiver down your spine. There is something about the combination of the sounds the letters make that makes anyone feel uncomfortable. There's no use beating around the bush, "hot yoga" will make you sweaty and moist.
Elliot's Smelly Bits, Potpourri Shop
You try not to burst out laughing at the name of this business, but you can't help it. In season three, episode 16, you get a glimpse of the new business moving in next door. Potpourri is a bit old fashioned, but there can be a market for it.
To really grasp customers' attention you need a good business name. The Bob's Burgers writing team decided the best option to use was "Elliot's Smelly Bits." For those who can't remember what potpourri is, it's dried flowers, or bits, that have a natural smell to them. Hence, the inappropriate, yet comical business name along with a male name.
Magnum G.I. Colonoscopies
The business name "Magnum G.I. Colonoscopies" can have to widely different interpretations. Your mind goes to the more adult-themed version. The business name is a play on words of the popular TV series, Magnum P.I.
Linda often talks about being a fan of Tom Selleck who was the main star of the series. Of course, the "magnum" part of the name doesn't bestow a lot of confidence when getting a colonoscopy. You much less think about the television show during the procedure.
Cupid's Stupid, Divorce Attorneys
The pun in episode 17 of season five is just plain clever. Cupid is notorious for roaming around unseen shooting people in the backside with his love arrows. If we're being realistic, cupid's arrows don't always work and love can fizzle out.
Before you know it, you were already married and are now looking to get a divorce. Have no fear, the new business next to Bob's Burgers will help resolve your issues. "Cupid's Stupid" Divorce Lawyers will tell you upfront that believing in cupid's love arrows is ridiculous and are willing help, for a standard fee.
Our Carpets Match Our Drapes, Home Furnishings
While the question never crossed your mind about the owners of the business next door, their business name gives you the answer. Leave it to Bob's Burgers to give you an answer to a question you never wanted to know.
The business name is seen in episode 23 of season three. The name gives a new meaning to purchasing curtains for your living room that would also match the drapes appropriately.
Balls To The Walls, Handball Supply
Bob's Burgers is doing a good job of taking everyday normal puns and turning them into a comical adult moment that's effective. The phrase, "balls to the walls" isn't new and has been used in various references.
The phrase is actually an engineering term meant to express maximum effort or going full throttle. When you first read it that does come to mind but not in terms of engineering. Your first basic thought when reading the name is what the Bob's Burgers writing team was most likely looking for. The "handball" portion of the store name only adds more to the pun.
Big Old Kitties, Senior Cat Adoption Agency
The writing team has outdone themselves with the adult-themed pun in episode 14 of season nine. When you pay close attention to the opening sequence and read the next-door business name you will most likely read it wrong.
The common term is, "big ol' t***ies" but the phrase has been edited and twisted around to mean something else. Cats of all ages should find a loving home. A senior cat adoption agency is the best way to make sure older cats find a nice family. What better way to advertise than by naming the store "Big Old Kitties."
Get Off My Back, Tramp Stamp Removal
In the late '90s to 2,000's, there was a certain trend of tattoos. You would recall the tribal tattoos, the bleeding heart and the most regrettable one, the tramp stamp. Everyone at some point into their late adulthood will regret their tramp stamp.
No worries, the new business next door to Bob's Burgers in episode six of season 16 has the answer to the problem. The "Get Off My Back" Tramp Stamp Removal store will get rid of that night out when you were twenty. The beauty of the pun is how specific it is on what the store offers.
The Massagonyst, Massage For Men
Some men are far too manly to be seen as an elegant and sophisticated spa to get a good massage. In the intro of episode 19 of season three, the new next-door business will solve this dilemma. "The Massagonyst" Massages For Men is only for the manliest of men.
Besides the fact that it's meant to make fun of the bravado men have, it's also a play on words. The word "misogynist' has been changed to still sound like the word but also has the beginning of the word "massage." It fits the concept of the pun appropriately.
